On tap at Salaisons.
Now no one can say I haven't had a beer in Luxembourg!

Slightly hazy golden-yellow pour, with a thin white head. Aroma was simple...pils malts, lager yeast. Taste was about the same...nothing really special going on here, just tasted like a homebrew kit. Light, bland, forgettable. But still, I had a beer in Luxembourg.

Draught pint taken in the British owned ‘Fu-Bar’ in Luxembourg City on 1st Jan 2012, my first beer of the year!

The beer was hazy; it is unfiltered, the colour being a light straw blonde. The head was a thin covering of smell white bubbles that hung around for a while before retreating into a collar and wisp.

The smells were of yeast and citrusy hops, the beer being poured so cold there was no aroma until I was half way down the pint.

The cold pour also ensured the flavours were masked until the beer began to rise in temperature a little: The citrus nose came through into the taste, as did the yeastiness, the beer was fresh, so I think I got it at its best. Light in colour, light in body, but lively enough because of its freshness, I enjoyed it. Refreshing and thirst quenching; not for the cold weather though, which is when I had it.

Brasserie Salaisons “Beierhaascht”: Notre Blonde (f) / Unser Helles (g)
Strength: 5.0% ABV.
Style: Unfiltered Pilsner/Blonde.

33cl Straight Sided Flute Serving Glass.
Tasted on Draft at the Brasserie Salaisons “Beierhaascht” Brewpub on 21st April 2003, during a Brewery Visit.


Appearance: A slightly hazy golden color who’s turbidity reflects the fact that the beer is unfiltered. A pure white head has an initially frothy head that slowly rescinds as the beer is drunk.

Smell: Not much to report here, very inoffensive. Pilsner Malts are barely discernable. Quite a bland nose.

Taste: This bottom-fermented Lager can only be described as “average”. Clean and crisp, but this is not surprising as the beer is brewed to the German Purity Laws of 1516. Unfortunately, for me, it tastes just too pure and has no redeemable features that differentiate it from other likewise beers.

Mouthfeel: Light, slick and easily forgotten.

Drinkability: Goes down well, and is easily quaffed – but that is its function in life after all.

Overall: “Pilsner” is the most popular beer style in Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. As such, it is no surprise that any new Brewpub that opens usually brews a Pilsner to cater for the populous. The Beierhaascht is no exception. This is the establishment’s biggest seller and it offends no-one. In this respect it fulfills its purpose. But sadly for me, this is also its down fall. It is just too much like other bland Euro-Pils Lagers brewed in the Grand Duchy, and elsewhere in Europe to be anything other than just, well, very average.
